THE SAMOA WAR;!
DOinSs Of the German Squadron
in Samoa
(FNoM A CORRESPONDENT.

AplA, August "a, 1887.
The eliminating point of German
intolerance and British supineness
has at last been reached here. The
German squadron under the COM
mand of Commodore Heasner ar
rived here on the 18th August.
Nothing of any Importance hap
pened until the 23rd, although the
Germans acted in such a bumptious
manner, as if they desired to pro-
woke reprisals from the Samoans,
but the latter refrained from moles-
ting them. Immediately after the
departure of the North German
Company's steamer Lubbock, which
left on the 23rd, Malietoa received
letter from the German Consul
demanding ,000dols damages from
Malietoa for an assault committed
by some of his people during
drunken melee ON the evening of
Emperor Williams birthday, on the
22nd of March last, and SIP, 900 for
robberies alleged to have been COM
mitted from German plantations.
The Samoans accused of the assault
had been tried by the Municipal
Courts at the time and acquitted. A
reply was demanded on the follow
morning, by II o'clock.
Malietoa's reply to this demand
was that the time allowed was not
sufficient, and he asked that he be
granted until the 9th so that he
could consult his chiefs in reference
to the matter. The German reply
to this was declaration of war at
8 O'Clock this morning the Oath,
when the German Commodore land
ed force of 250 men from the Bis
marck, $50 each from the Olga,
Garcia and Sophie-in all 700 men,
and took possession of the Samoan
Government House.
They invaded the premises of rhe
London Missionary Society and sew
eral other houses in their search for
Malietoa. In one of these houses
the proprietor was lying dangerous
ly ill. They made him get up and
turned him and his wife and family
into the road. 1t was only when
the local doctor informed them that
they were endangering the mans
life that they allowed him to return.
1t is said some of the Germans en-
tered the house of an American citi-
zen, and, after ransacking every
thing in the house, demanded the
key of the store. There was only
Samoan woman there. On her in
forming them that she knew nothing
about the key, she was roughly
threatened with violence if she did
not give it up.
The next move was to pull down
the flag and hoist the German flag
in its place. In reply to the protest
of the American and British Consuls
the Commodore assured them that
annexation was not intended-sim-
ply the occupation of the Govern
ment House until the trouble was
ended. Afterwards force of about
400 men with fixed bayonets headed
by the band marched through town
and returned to Government House
when the majority of them were sent
back to their ships leaving guard
and patrol parties on shore. As I
write these are parading up and
down the streets jostling and insult

ing all Samoans and Englishmen or
Americans who happen to be about.
A rumor having reached town to
the effect that the Malietoa party
were preparing TO attack the Tama-
sese Cor rebeD party, several Of the
leading English residents proceeded
to Afega to prevent fighting il posi-
BILE. Fortunately, their advice pre-
vailed, and Malietoa and his men re-
treated to the mountains, but only
just in time, as one of the German
gunboats went down in the after
noon to arrest Malietoa.
The Garcia returned on August
25 with the rebel chief Tamasese on
board. Immediately on arrival he
was saluted by the Commodore's
ship as King of Samoa. He was
afterwards received on board the
Flagship, and at noon accompanied
by the Commodore, captains and
officers of the other vessels proceed
ed to Nahum Point (the former seat
of Malietoa's Government, and
which was taken by the German
Government on q former occasion)'
when he was there installed as King,
and the Bismarck, again fired royal
salute. Tamasese's flag is large
white flag with black cross, the
upper corner red with q white star
in the center At short distance
it would readily be mistaken for the
Imperial dag of Germany. This flag
has been hoisted on Mulinuu Point,
and over Malietoa's Government
House. 1t is to be hoped the British
Government will at once take action
as neither the books nor property Of
British subjects are safe. Armed
parties are securing the country in
all directions. There are about 700
of the rebel party in town, and as
they are becoming supplied with
arms, ammunition and liquor by the
Germans.
A Massacre Feared
unless steps are taken to prevent it.
English and American residents here
are SO impressed with the gravity of
the situation, that they have char
tered Messrs. Macarthur & Co.'s
schooner Lily at a cost of S 900 to
carry information to Fiji; where it
is hoped a man-of-war will be found.
The English and American consuls
have just issued a proclamation
which enclose. They also have re-
fused to allow Tamasese or his Gre
dentials in their offices.
| omitted to mention that the
Germans were terribly sold the
night before the declaration of war.
AS soon as King Malietoa received
the letter of demand for $4,000 he
rode into town and consulted his
chiefs, and they again sought advice
from some of their European friends.
The letter asking for delay was
composed for them and interpreted
while the King remained in the house
of one of his chiefs. At about /
o'clock at night they became aware
of the fact that he was watched by
four half-caste spies.
BY little strategy some of them
were induced TO go for ''nobbler,"
and while away His Majesty with
one or two friends walked down the
town, right through party of Ger
man officers to his boat, and away
to his settlement, about II miles
distant. Great was the chagrin of
the Germans as they came ashore in
the morning and found the bird had
flown. They searched the European
houses very diligently but uselessly.

how the authorities of Des Mones would
decide in regard to street parades there.
Here, when the army first appeared, it
was proposed to have them arrested, but
as their work was more closely watched
it appeared that they were doing much
more good than harm so they were al
lowed to 90 ahead with their peculiar

Major Dale, who commands the Iowa
division, was arrested in company with
